Broadcom AFBR Proximity Sensor 30 m 4.5 V 5.5V 15 Module

Broadcom AFBR Series Proximity Sensor, 30m Sensing Distance, 5.5V Maximum Supply Voltage - AFBR-S50LV85D

This proximity sensor is a Compact detection module designed to sense objects at long range within electronic and industrial systems. It operates from a low-voltage supply and delivers a switched output suitable for integration with control logic. The unit is intended for through-hole mounting and functions across a wide ambient temperature span for varied operational environments.

Features and Benefits:

• Open drain and push-pull outputs offer flexible interfacing options
  Detects targets up to 30 m, enabling long-range detection tasks
  Operates from 4.5-5.5 V for low-voltage system compatibility
  Draws 40 mA supply current, reducing power budget impact
  Switches at up to 3 kHz for responsive object detection
  Provides 33 mA output current to drive downstream inputs

Applications

• Suitable for industrial object detection on assembly lines
  Ideal for integration into monitoring and safety controls
  Used with control boards requiring through-hole mounting
  Can be used for long-range presence sensing in automation
  Suitable for environments operating between −20 °C and 70 °C
